# React Native for Web
[![npm version][package-badge]][package-url] [![Build Status][ci-badge]][ci-url] [![PRs Welcome](https://img.shields.io/badge/PRs-welcome-brightgreen.svg)](https://reactjs.org/docs/how-to-contribute.html#your-first-pull-request)
"React Native for Web" brings the platform-agnostic Components and APIs of
[React Native][react-native-url] to the Web.
* **High-quality user interfaces**: React Native for Web makes it easy to
create [fast](packages/benchmarks/README.md), adaptive web UIs in JavaScript.
It provides native-like interactions, support for multiple input modes (touch,
mouse, keyboard), optimized vendor-prefixed styles, built-in support for RTL
layout, built-in accessibility, and integrates with React Dev Tools.
* **Write once, render anywhere**: React Native for Web interoperates with
existing React DOM components and is compatible with the majority of the
React Native API. You can develop new components for native and web without
rewriting existing code. React Native for Web can also render to HTML and
critical CSS on the server using Node.js.
Who is using React Native for Web? [Twitter](https://mobile.twitter.com),
[Major League Soccer](https://matchcenter.mlssoccer.com), [The
Times](https://github.com/newsuk/times-components), [React Native's
documentation](http://facebook.github.io/react-native/).
Browser support: Chrome, Firefox, Safari >= 7, IE 10, Edge.
## Quick start
The easiest way to get started with React Native for Web is to use this
[ready-to-go project on Glitch](https://glitch.com/edit/#!/react-native-web-playground).
You dont need to install anything to try it out.
If you are unfamiliar with setting up a React web project, please follow the
recommendations in the [React documentation](https://reactjs.org/).
## Documentation
You can find the React Native for Web API documentation [on the
website][website-url].
Please refer to the [React Native documentation][react-native-url] for more
design details, and for information about the [Gesture Responder
system](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/gesture-responder-system.html)
and [animations](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animations.html).
### Installation
Install using `yarn` or `npm`:
```
yarn add react react-dom react-native-web
yarn add --dev babel-plugin-react-native-web
```

## Examples
There are several examples [on the website][website-url] and in the [website's
source code](./website). Here is an example to get you started:
```js
import React from 'react';
import { AppRegistry, StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native';
class App extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<View style={styles.box}>
<Text style={styles.text}>Hello, world!</Text>
</View>
);
}
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
box: { padding: 10 },
text: { fontWeight: 'bold' }
});
AppRegistry.registerComponent('App', () => App);
AppRegistry.runApplication('App', { rootTag: document.getElementById('react-root') });
```
This example will render the `App` into a container on the page.
You'll notice that there is no reference to `react-dom`; the `App` component is
defined using the platform-agnostic APIs and Components introduced by React
Native. This allows the app to be rendered to web and native platforms.
